Thread:Semerone/@comment-30866325-20170704185904

I moved this conversation here, as not everyone is supposed to immediately see all details concerning this.

Huh? This is strange.

I just went and translated Amon's name just out of curiosity.

Interestingly, Battle Raiden (aka the Japanese version) calls him 猛流 (Mō-ryū), which means "raging stream", while the Chinese version of the manga calls him 鴉绞 (Yā jiǎo), which means "crow twist".

Oddly enough, I couldn't find the name "Amon" anywhere outside of Miss Azure's and the Baradise/Rose translations... :(

So the translators from DynamicDesigns didn't mess up, they actually did correctly reference the character. Though, no one can blame Semerone for this. After all, her knowledge of Japanese was rather limited at that point in time.

Yet, I now wonder... Is "Amon" the actual mistranslation? (rolls eyes)

Or are both "Amon" and "Mouryu" correct and is he just being referred to by different names in the different revisions of the manga and the game?

Hmm...
